[The role of zoster oticus as a paraneoplastic syndrome (author's transl)]. 1981

K B Hüttenbrink, and A Blättermann, and T Deitmer

The relation between malignant neoplasms and zoster oticus as a paraneoplastic syndrome is discussed based on a bibliographic review and catamnestic evaluations of own patients. 19 patients who had suffered from zoster oticus were included in a follow-up study covering a period up to 13 years after the affection. The symptoms of zoster oticus as described in the literature are reviewed and compared with the findings in our patients. Although there were no indications of neoplasms in our patients a general check-up is recommended in all cases of zoster oticus in accordance with the rules established in internal medicine and dermatology.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009759	Nystagmus, Pathologic	Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life.

D010031	Otitis	Inflammation of the ear, which may be marked by pain (EARACHE), fever, HEARING DISORDERS, and VERTIGO. Inflammation of the external ear is OTITIS EXTERNA; of the middle ear, OTITIS MEDIA; of the inner ear, LABYRINTHITIS.

D005156	Facial Neuralgia	Neuralgic syndromes which feature chronic or recurrent FACIAL PAIN as the primary manifestation of disease.

D005158	Facial Paralysis	Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.
